---AMP enforces a few rules — see the theme notes:
- Images: use
<amp-img width="..." height="..." layout="responsive" src="...">with explicit dimensions. - YouTube: use
<amp-youtube data-videoid="..." width="..." height="..." layout="responsive">. - No external CSS or custom JS; styles are inlined from
_includes/styles.scss.
